At this moment, I'm wondering if my mother would approve. She's not much on potty humor. Well, then again, I must take after her, because I'm not either. And my hesitation escalated when my honey just asked me if I was blogging from the bathroom. Horrors!

I immediately explained that we were blogging ABOUT the bathroom…or more specifically about business bathroom experiences and other such forlorn locations…not really ABOUT bonding with the girls in the bathroom (as we girls have sometimes been known to do). I mean, no self-respecting Southern belle would ever blog FROM the bathroom…would they? 

Humor aside (sorry mom!), I do have a thing or two – and a tip or two to share about how to make the most – and I mean make the most money – from a customer's time spent in your business bathroom. So, when Stephanie asked me a couple of years ago to join this jolly group of bathroom bloggers for an annual Bathroom Blogfest, I said YES immediately, and I can't wait to share another year's worth of my observation and practice in the experience jungle with you, readers of the official Bathroom Blogfest '08 – Cleaning Up Forgotten Spaces Around Us.

This week, I'm going to tell my funniest story yet to date about bathroom marketing. I mean, if you don't think it's funny, then you've never had a two-year-old interrupt your most personal moments. (You've really gotta stick around for this one.)

While I'm at it, I think I'll throw in a bit of personal testimony on the best and worst bathroom arrangements I've found from the perspective of a mother who has had the "privilege" of potty training this past year. (Not as funny, but hopefully money-making potential will offset the loss there.)

Stay tuned and also check out my other friends who are making their mark this week on the topic of bathroom experiences.
